“The company has chosen to rollout a salary reduction across different levels for a period of six months, starting May 2020 to October 2020. We will review the situation depending on the business condition that exists then”, said the internal communication reviewed by CNBC-TV18. 

Taking a look back at the month April, employees at TVS Motor Company were paid their full salaries then.

“In the wake of the unprecedented crisis, TVS Motor Company has rolled out a temporary salary reduction across different levels for a period of six months (May to Oct, 2020). There will be no salary reduction at the workmen level. However, there will be a 5 percent salary reduction at the junior executive level and about 15  to 20 percent at the senior management level. It was heartening to see employees coming forward and offering to take salary reduction voluntarily”, TVS Motor Company spokesperson told CNBC-TV18.

“Many sectors have implemented stringent measures to overcome this crisis. This includes cost cutting, job reductions, and salary cuts. Therefore it is important that we take cognizance of the situation and react appropriately”, the letter further added.

Weeks back, Bajaj Auto, too announced a salary cut across levels but the company later deferred the decision.
